☆ 35-year-old CEO of $100 million company: I 'don’t remember' anything I learned in college—here's why it was valuable anyway

College prepared Pinky Cole well to be the CEO of a $100 million company, she says — just not in the way you might think. When I went to college, all the stuff that I learned, I don't remember [any] of it," Cole tells CNBC Make It. And while it's certainly possible to connect with high-powered people without a shared academic experience, college graduates tend to have better career prospects and financial outcomes than high school-only graduates. College graduates earned 75% more last year, on average, according to the San Francisco Fed, a research nonprofit. College graduates also reported a 2% unemployment rate last year, compared with 7% for their counterparts, the National Center for Education Statistics reported.

☆ 35-year-old CEO of a $100 million company: Getting fired was the 'best thing that ever happened to me'
  + stars: | 2023-10-31 | by ( Ashton Jackson | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
"[Getting fired] was the best thing that could have happened to me, because it made me go all in on my business," Cole, 35, the CEO and founder of Atlanta-based vegan burger chain Slutty Vegan, tells CNBC Make It. Slutty Vegan is worth $100 million, Cole told Forbes last year. She'd also spent about four months building Slutty Vegan as a side hustle, hawking vegan burgers from a shared commercial kitchen. That's partly why Cole got fired, she told Make It last year — spending too much time focusing on her new business. Perhaps Slutty Vegan had long-term potential, Cole recalls thinking.

☆ A Vegan Restaurateur and a Meat Connoisseur Find ‘No Ordinary Love’
  + stars: | 2023-06-14 | by ( Tammy La Gorce | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Aisha Kamaria Cole, who goes by the name Pinky Cole, has been called a visionary and a provocateur. She also has a knack for helping meat eaters step outside their comfort zones at her plant-based burger chain, Slutty Vegan. Stepping outside her own comfort zone became a priority when she met Derrick Jermaine Hayes, the founder of Big Dave’s Cheesesteaks in June 2020. “Before I met him, I never would have talked to anybody that has a cheesesteak restaurant,” she said. Not in a romantic way, anyway, because of her vegan principles.

☆ Slutty Vegan, the buzzy $100 million restaurant empire backed by Shake Shack's Danny Meyer, faces wage theft lawsuits in two states
  + stars: | 2023-04-14 | by ( Jordan Hart | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Three employees are filing a lawsuit against Brooklyn's Slutty Vegan restaurant. The workers claim the restaurant failed to pay bonuses, did not adequately compensate for overtime, and miscalculated paychecks, according to the lawsuit. Founder Pinky Cole is also facing a lawsuit from an employee of her Atlanta restaurant Bar Vegan over alleged wage theft. Slutty Vegan opened its Brooklyn location in September 2022. Cole addressed the lawsuit in an Instagram post, writing "I don't lie, I don't steal and more importantly, I DON'T PLAY WITH PEOPLE'S MONEY."
☆ I was never a chef and never had a business plan — and now I'm building a vegan food empire worth $100 million
  + stars: | 2022-10-14 | by ( Jordan Hart | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
I'm not a trained chef, but my restaurant business is now valued at $100 million with eight locations, four food trucks, and a sister company. When Slutty Vegan first came to me I thought, 'Oh, 'slutty' and 'vegan' don't go together, but I can make them go together and make something really cool.' I'm introducing people to vegan food in a way that's fun and familiar. I just wanted to get people's attention and start a conversation about vegan food. I really got luckyI chose New York for my first Slutty Vegan location outside of the South because it represents the US as a whole.
